EBOOK Legal Construction of Personal Work Relations

This book explores the conceptual framework of European employment law, focusing        on understanding the law's construction of employment relationships. The book draws        on extensive comparative research of the legal architecture of employment relations        in national legal systems and EU law to analyse the traditional model of the        contract of employment and the difficulties of using the traditional model to frame        modern working relationships.The authors then present a new model of the foundations        of employment relationships, based on the concept of a personal work nexus, and        explore the potential of their model to shape the future development of employment        law.Throughout the book, the authors analyse the interaction of domestic and EU        employment law, and discuss the possibility of future legal harmonisation in the        area. They conclude by exploring the potential for a common framework for European        employment law, in the context of broader debates surrounding the harmonisation of        European private law.
